A new type of interview which for me shows a different side of the SHENG Siong CEO which can be heard from the staffs is a wonderful person. I am sure he is in for it - with the comedy in this video...Very uplifting as it is not the typical boring classic interview...
I really like the way Mr Lim navigates around the questions the interviewer threw at him. Some answers were inspiring. Honestly I wouldnt have known how to reply in a polite manner to the godson qn. I would just say no and laugh it off
Unpopular opinion but i enjoyed the interview. There are serious questions interlaced with the jokes so you still get to know about the company and the CEO. Even the godson question received an interesting answer that a family member would have to work harder than normal staff. I think it made the interview less boring
The interviewer should show a bit of respect la. U are meeting a well respected CEO of a company but end up making yourself look like a fool. The CEO look like he was not receptive to his comedic joke. There’s a time and place for jokes but dont overdo it. U are interviewing a CEO bro not a circus clown.
This is distasteful. There’s a right place and time for humour - this is definitely not the occasion and is disrespectful to the CEO. Please STOP doing such videos in future.
Imagine the ceo/owner of a multi billion dollar company giving you the opportunity for an interview and you squander it by showing a competitor's product and asking questions like "can I be your godson". Completely unclassy, uncouth and cringe worthy. You've wasted the ceos time, but this showed me that this ceo was gracious enough to take your bullshit even when you showed this much disrespect and made a mockery of him.
Hey dudes, love the fresh way of presenting the org.culture at SS. Don’t fret Andrew, u’re doing great man. Also it’s only logical that the corporate communications team at SS vetted the questions and video before it was released. And surely, the CEO would have a clear idea about the way content is produced on this channel and most likely got a heads up about the questions before the interview so please, calm down.
How I wish I have such boss, only with humble boss who think from the lower point of view the company will then expand, this guy is quite funny , he bring out fairprice plastic bag
Lol you guys seriously think that this was not rehearsed or questions was permitted to ask beforehand? If you are looking for non-comical content, please look elsewhere.
to think mothership came up with such idea doing an interview? When is time to be serious, do so. This interview it's pretty horrendous don't you think? as though making a joke out from a local reputable humble owner. Seriously where is the professionalism? Would such interview be conducted on even MNC bosses? Where's the respect?
The interviewer needs to reflect. Very rude and disrespectful towards a humble CEO. This series should be canned if all you think about is to troll CEOs.
Good experience shopping @ Sheng Siong. Every time I self-checked out at NTUC, d staff will check n count my stuffs n d Monitor to make sure it tally instead of helping to put my groceries in d bag.
Poor interviewer and not just once… Pls show some respect la… The CEO looks awkward when u took out your bottle to drink. R u really that thirsty to drink in the middle of the interview?? Could not even ask questions that he understands.. Trying to be funny. But is really not funny. Rather rude.. disrespectful..
Glad I read these comments before wasting my time on the video. Was looking forward to a fruitful, educational interview, especially with someone as respectable as Mr Lim.
NTUC bag in front of Sheng Shiong's CEO @_@ I thought it's gonna used as the interview like "What do you think of NTUC Fairprice?" but apparently not..
liked the comedic piece during the casual interviews with the staff, but the "comedy" in the CEO interview was so unnecessary. comedic timing was so off to the point it was forced comedy that I couldn't pick up on until I read the comments and came off as plain RUDE instead. how did this segment even get pass the editors/ producers? but I tell you what, the CEO handled that failed awkward sequence like a champ, great guy. 10/10 cringe on the interview mothership, don't try too hard, if it doesn't feel right, don't do it. wasted an interview opportunity.
Same! Thought it was funny with staffs but not with the boss. It would have been more fun if they asked witty questions that were still respectful instead.
I think it is nice to make the interview funny. But I feel that this interview is totally unprepared. Like mocking a Chinese CEO speaker. The godson joke is funny, but speaking Chinese like this really showcase the poor attitude presented towards the CEO. If you want to make it funny, at least do it professionally, with a basic command of language. Xin Qi, you have a Chinese name, but why your Chinese so chui? Wtf.
Is this a joke? Come on man, CEO made time to have an interview with Mothership, and you guys sent a non-fluent chinese speaking to interview a CEO.. Just for that as an entertainment i will accept, but during an interview like that he should not just take his water bottle out and drink... Totally no respect towards the CEO... Please just stop this series already if its gonna be the same for the future video, no CEO would like to be wasting time with him.
I think they were trying to be funny and pull off a Sgag-style video, but it was downright rude, terrible and awkward. If U guys have no idea how to make a good video, take a cue from some HK and TW youtube channels. They could make funny yet high quality and tasteful videos of similar style (interviewing famous CEOs, uncovering the one-day life of a worker at well-known companies). U guys had the rare opportunity to interview a well-respected CEO, and you chose to present it such an awful manner. The CEO is probably thinking in his mind- what's wrong with the young people and these youtubers of SG nowadays.
I thought this was hilarious. People in here need to lighten up a bit. I'm sure he told the ceo beforehand there will be a comedic twist to this interview. The real interviews already took place. That with the staff. Brilliant.
I think the workers shouldn't be too greedy because you already got 16 months bonus still asking for more.This privileges are given to you and can take back anytimes so don't take everythings from granted
The CEO cleared out a part of his daily schedule to do the interview with Mothership. Yet theres a blatant disrespect by 1) not preparing questions in a fluent manner 2) treating (1) as a joke 3) the ntuc bag? Really? Super rude. I feel secondhand embarrassment. Not even funny
Why the money can't be saved because without all these workers The company wouldn't reached that far so boss can't be too stingy even though billionaire but how much can you actually spend in your life times You definitely have to give some parts of your fortunes away to all your workers besides your families and charities
Ah boy boy why you at Sheng siong supermarket take NTUC plastic bag on show. Can respect Sheng siong CEO grandpa or not. Nexttimes remember if your's assistant didn't alert. You ownself got to be very alert ok
Damn rude and poor pathetic attempt to try and act witty. The interviewer should be fired ASAP. Ps. Andrew Wong, try to learn to be funny before going out to disgrace yourself... pathetic
kinda surprised that Mothership produced such a poor quality interview. When you have Jest you should balance it out with substance. No one is expecting a Borat movie here
ppl respect this man for his generosity and management style (I don't work for sheng siong and even I see that) and this is mothership's response and the attitude they went with for the interview? joke sounds funny on paper but is totally tone deaf bro.
I’ve seen this host repeatedly try to pull off such half-cooked attempts at humour in previous videos on Mothership that similarly come across as unfunny at best and cringe-inducing at worst. Even if this video with the Sheng Shiong CEO was meant to be scripted to look like a Michael Scott-esque mockumentary sequence and approved by their corp comms, it has crossed any conceivable line lowered by those previous videos into the territory of unprofessionalism and straight-up disrespect for your interview subject. It is unfathomable that Mothership continues to go down this path of continuing to attempt such humour and/or using this so-called talent to host their videos.
Honestly.. This host should be canceled. There's a specific time, space to joke or to be serious, but I think he is definitely not on level to interview such a big shot. 1/10. -1 : no respect to people -1: not bilingual, when u interview u should have studied the background of the interviewee. -1: jokes are not of class enough -1: childish and not mature to do presentations like this. -1: Formality is important u don't argue when u r a guest. And u interviewed staffs, should have use some proper keywords. -1: brought out plastic bag to show ur V gung-ho ntuc pp bag? -1: Simple language to interview others and not sophisticated ones. -1: Facial impression is a fail. -1: Shengsiong will reconsider when Mothership does their PR for them. Seriously.. 懂得做人很重要‼️
When you are talking to someone and if you feel very uncomfortable and very thirsty, please ask for permission and excuse yourself for a sip of water. You disrupt Mr Lim’s thoughts when he is talking. Your action is disrespectful.
Andrew Wong ah Andrew Wong, you and the Director for this interview Tan Xing Qi ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Getting up close and personal with a CEO who runs the 3rd largest supermarket chain in Singapore is a rare chance in itself - but you just had to blow it on tasteless questions and ridiculous shenanigans. I thought the SIA video that you did was already very crass - but you really impressed me by hitting rock-bottom with this absolutely tasteless interview.
I get so annoyed watching this interviewer fooling around..😅😅dont u feel ashamed with this attitude for being so silly and ridiculious during the interview session with the ceo?i laugh out loud in sarcasm way not because its funny..but more to pathetic😄
I LMAO at the NTUC fairprice plastic part
I like this ceo very humble down to earth person always looking out for the best interest of his workers
Lies again? God Father Believe In Allah
Omg when he took out the bottle in ntuc bag.... I felt that awkwardness yucks
A new type of interview which for me shows a different side of the SHENG Siong CEO which can be heard from the staffs is a wonderful person. I am sure he is in for it - with the comedy in this video...Very uplifting as it is not the typical boring classic interview...

The CEO look like he was not receptive to his comedic joke. There’s a time and place for jokes but dont overdo it. U are interviewing a CEO bro not a circus clown.
I don’t think he is a fool just that he shouldn’t use nutc plastic bag in front of him.
This is distasteful. There’s a right place and time for humour - this is definitely not the occasion and is disrespectful to the CEO. Please STOP doing such videos in future.
the interviewer think he's funny and humorous...all i feel is embarrasing
Absolutely. Cringe level 100000%
I Agree!
Wah this host damn funny Sia....I like his straight face comedy...
If this is satire, it's damn good hahahahahahahaha
No offense, but what kind of interview is this? He should have asked more professional questions instead of wasting the CEO's time.
Imagine the ceo/owner of a multi billion dollar company giving you the opportunity for an interview and you squander it by showing a competitor's product and asking questions like "can I be your godson".
Completely unclassy, uncouth and cringe worthy.

honestly so fucking entertaining
Pls kindly show some respect to the CEO, really very RUDE!!!😲🤔
How I wish I have such boss, only with humble boss who think from the lower point of view the company will then expand, this guy is quite funny , he bring out fairprice plastic bag
i almost spit out water damn funny this korkor damn handsome
Nice place to work. Will keep that in mind if there's a nearby outlet.
Lol you guys seriously think that this was not rehearsed or questions was permitted to ask beforehand? If you are looking for non-comical content, please look elsewhere.
While trying to be funny, the interviewer is very disrespectful. *shakes head*
to think mothership came up with such idea doing an interview? When is time to be serious, do so. This interview it's pretty horrendous don't you think? as though making a joke out from a local reputable humble owner. Seriously where is the professionalism? Would such interview be conducted on even MNC bosses? Where's the respect?
Chill. I believe they have spoken on this with the CEO and may just be all scripted lol.
Why so serious?
Amazing stories
The interviewer needs to reflect. Very rude and disrespectful towards a humble CEO. This series should be canned if all you think about is to troll CEOs.
This interviewer is showing utter disrespect... A joke. Kudos to the sheng shiong ceo for putting up with him.
Good experience shopping @ Sheng Siong. Every time I self-checked out at NTUC, d staff will check n count my stuffs n d Monitor to make sure it tally instead of helping to put my groceries in d bag.
it's lighthearted, ain't rude, depends on how you see it
Poor interviewer and not just once… Pls show some respect la… The CEO looks awkward when u took out your bottle to drink. R u really that thirsty to drink in the middle of the interview?? Could not even ask questions that he understands.. Trying to be funny. But is really not funny. Rather rude.. disrespectful..
Glad I read these comments before wasting my time on the video. Was looking forward to a fruitful, educational interview, especially with someone as respectable as Mr Lim.
Watch it before u tok
Not funny at all, downright disrespectful when he doesn't pay attention to the interviewee. The NTUC plastic bag is just cringey and embarrassing.
NTUC bag in front of Sheng Shiong's CEO @_@ I thought it's gonna used as the interview like "What do you think of NTUC Fairprice?" but apparently not..
Do people not get satire? Pretty sure the company was in on the jokr already.
liked the comedic piece during the casual interviews with the staff, but the "comedy" in the CEO interview was so unnecessary. comedic timing was so off to the point it was forced comedy that I couldn't pick up on until I read the comments and came off as plain RUDE instead. how did this segment even get pass the editors/ producers? but I tell you what, the CEO handled that failed awkward sequence like a champ, great guy.
10/10 cringe on the interview mothership, don't try too hard, if it doesn't feel right, don't do it. wasted an interview opportunity.
exactly my thoughts. tried too hard, too cringey. Would actually appreciate some real interview with deeper insights.
Same! Thought it was funny with staffs but not with the boss. It would have been more fun if they asked witty questions that were still respectful instead.
I think it is nice to make the interview funny. But I feel that this interview is totally unprepared. Like mocking a Chinese CEO speaker.

If you want to make it funny, at least do it professionally, with a basic command of language.
Xin Qi, you have a Chinese name, but why your Chinese so chui? Wtf.
Actually this actor was mocking at the young graduates here who can speak impeccable English but struggle to communicate in proper Mandarin. :)
Is this a joke? Come on man, CEO made time to have an interview with Mothership, and you guys sent a non-fluent chinese speaking to interview a CEO.. Just for that as an entertainment i will accept, but during an interview like that he should not just take his water bottle out and drink... Totally no respect towards the CEO...
Please just stop this series already if its gonna be the same for the future video, no CEO would like to be wasting time with him.
Thanks for this beautiful video on your business empire. Congratulations! I hope to visit you in Singapore soon. God bless.
want act cute go join jack neo crew lah.
Twisted sense of humour and disrespectful to the CEO. This is totally not an ethical way to interview people.
I was hoping this would be an “inside Sheng Siong” episode... it was really disappointing
I think they were trying to be funny and pull off a Sgag-style video, but it was downright rude, terrible and awkward.

Love Andrew too funny
not funny, interviewer bad
I think the workers shouldn't be too greedy because you already got 16 months bonus still asking for more.This privileges are given to you and can take back anytimes so don't take everythings from granted
Why the privileges can take back anytimes because it extra bonus not 13 months bonus which is compulsory
Absolutely unprofessional. You can tell the boss isn’t too pleased either...
The CEO cleared out a part of his daily schedule to do the interview with Mothership. Yet theres a blatant disrespect by 1) not preparing questions in a fluent manner 2) treating (1) as a joke 3) the ntuc bag? Really? Super rude. I feel secondhand embarrassment. Not even funny
Wah! His final answer is really solid. You want money or want work?
16 months bonus no wondered the companies are thriving for me all this money can't be saved because the most important are the workers all happy
Why the money can't be saved because without all these workers The company wouldn't reached that far so boss can't be too stingy even though billionaire but how much can you actually spend in your life times You definitely have to give some parts of your fortunes away to all your workers besides your families and charities
Ah boy boy why you at Sheng siong supermarket take NTUC plastic bag on show. Can respect Sheng siong CEO grandpa or not. Nexttimes remember if your's assistant didn't alert. You ownself got to be very alert ok
he's trying too hard...
Damn rude and poor pathetic attempt to try and act witty. The interviewer should be fired ASAP.
Ps. Andrew Wong, try to learn to be funny before going out to disgrace yourself... pathetic
OMG interviewer please brush up your chinese don't sia suay yourself!!!
Know your place mothership, you get a interview at a acclaimed CEO and you allow such unprofessionalism. Trash.
kinda surprised that Mothership produced such a poor quality interview. When you have Jest you should balance it out with substance. No one is expecting a Borat movie here
Whoosh
LOLOL the Ntuc plastic bag cameo 🤣🤣
ppl respect this man for his generosity and management style (I don't work for sheng siong and even I see that) and this is mothership's response and the attitude they went with for the interview? joke sounds funny on paper but is totally tone deaf bro.
A total waste of the CEO's time.
Tried too hard... Not funny
At least he tried
This is so disrespectful
Old people in the comments unable to grasp humour is the most Singaporean thing ever
So young people dunno what’s call respect? Dumb af logic
This only works if u r conan o brien or jimmy kimmel pal
I’ve seen this host repeatedly try to pull off such half-cooked attempts at humour in previous videos on Mothership that similarly come across as unfunny at best and cringe-inducing at worst. Even if this video with the Sheng Shiong CEO was meant to be scripted to look like a Michael Scott-esque mockumentary sequence and approved by their corp comms, it has crossed any conceivable line lowered by those previous videos into the territory of unprofessionalism and straight-up disrespect for your interview subject. It is unfathomable that Mothership continues to go down this path of continuing to attempt such humour and/or using this so-called talent to host their videos.
hmm repeatedly? then why are you still watching it repeatedly just curious, should switch to BBC or something
the interviewer lucky need to wear mask these days, only throw the visible parts of his face.
This is not right... I know you want to make you content more fun but this is disrespectful...
Honestly.. This host should be canceled. There's a specific time, space to joke or to be serious, but I think he is definitely not on level to interview such a big shot.
1/10.
-1 : no respect to people
-1: not bilingual, when u interview u should have studied the background of the interviewee.
-1: jokes are not of class enough
-1: childish and not mature to do presentations like this.
-1: Formality is important u don't argue when u r a guest. And u interviewed staffs, should have use some proper keywords.
-1: brought out plastic bag to show ur V gung-ho ntuc pp bag?
-1: Simple language to interview others and not sophisticated ones.
-1: Facial impression is a fail.
-1: Shengsiong will reconsider when Mothership does their PR for them.
Seriously.. 懂得做人很重要‼️
Imagine singaporeans with a sense of humour
Funny using a NTUC Fairprice plastic bag in fromt of Sheng Siong boss hahahaha nice job......
松bo🎤
i feel is disrespectful and rude
The cringe in the video is so high .
16 months bonus??? wow. i only get 2 months leh. hahahaha
This is too funny interview. This is not meant to be serious.
This is going to be GG in Italy.
When you are talking to someone and if you feel very uncomfortable and very thirsty, please ask for permission and excuse yourself for a sip of water.
You disrupt Mr Lim’s thoughts when he is talking.
Your action is disrespectful.
How dare you bring Ntuc plastic bag
He was so rude. Buay tahan.
Why does the interviewer seems really rude ?
Sushi 😀😆
eh its funny mothership ignore the haters
Whoever thought of this presentation mode should give up 16x his/her salary...oh wait no. 百倍 oh no...千倍 right?
Fire the interviewer. He's going to cause you to lose viewers and cost you your professionalism.
Andrew Wong ah Andrew Wong, you and the Director for this interview Tan Xing Qi ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
Getting up close and personal with a CEO who runs the 3rd largest supermarket chain in Singapore is a rare chance in itself - but you just had to blow it on tasteless questions and ridiculous shenanigans.
I thought the SIA video that you did was already very crass - but you really impressed me by hitting rock-bottom with this absolutely tasteless interview.
you must be fun at parties. Absolutely 0 sense of humor.
I get so annoyed watching this interviewer fooling around..😅😅dont u feel ashamed with this attitude for being so silly and ridiculious during the interview session with the ceo?i laugh out loud in sarcasm way not because its funny..but more to pathetic😄
RUUUUUDDDDDDEEEEEEE!
If your purpose is to be funny, you failed.
If your purpose is to really interview the CEO, you lagi failed.
So this video All in All, Failed
Are you nuts,just bcos he is rich
What a waste of the CEO's time.....
The kind of student in class who thinks he is funny but is just an annoyance to everyone else
This guy is trying to act like Ronnie Chieng from the Trevor Noah Show
Please don't insult Ronnie.
why is everyone hating on the interviewer :(
This is damn rude lol
this is the worst interview and i can feel he also dont like this interview with the ceo OF SS. The ceo so fierce and not approachable.
This should be taken down. I feel bad for the CEO. This is tastelessly done and untactful.
Oh the guy whoosh mother kena kidnapped
Showed competitor plastic bag to the CEO... LOL LOL LOL LOL
Lol @1:57
So many SJW in this comment. Lol
Sigh... stupid attempt to make cold jokes.. really awkward
Chillax la guys. Q funny ma, no meh?
